Is the background ok? Or I redo it? The plants at the back still need to grow taller to be seen clearly. And lots of free space which is black.

There are 20 lagenandra meeboldi green which are doing very good at the left half.
20 Amazon swords and 5 ozelot swords in the mid and right which aren't doing so good. And a single rubin sword at the right corner.

Do I add plants to cover up the back fully? Like giant vallisneria?
Or add a big mesh at the back and add moss on it? Or ferns etc?
Or more wood and plants on it? There's one foot space at the back behind the woods.

Won't be doing it right now for a month or two.
Looking for the lowest maintenance option which looks good.

Your tank looks great. In fact it looked great from day one. However I see that you keep changing the fish stock at very frequent intervals.( I believe you are making some LFS very very happy. ) But I feel that after all the effort and investment you should lay back and enjoy your hardwork rather than burning up your buck at frequent intervals.

With the kind of tank you have you can house almost any fish you want (except monster fish) . Therefore you will always be tempted to try new stock. There will be no dearth of advice (including mine ) prompting you to try changes. Change is good but not in such short intervals and such great cost.

Cheers for a great tank. As they say in India the only thing you get free is advice like mine. All the best.

I don't think you necessarily need to cover the whole back of your tank. This might rather get boring. If it was my tank I would add a group of giant Vallisneria (or some other plant which will reach the surface and cover part of it with its leaves, fish will love this especially the altums) at about 1/3 from the left of your tank.

Hi Doc,
Though your tank looks nice but still prviously when middleground was empty it was more attractive to me.
It was showing the depth of the tank and looks more natural good. Just my personal opinion.

The tank looks much better in person abhis9. Even I wanted to accennuate the 3' depth with the plant layout. Maybe my photography sucks more than I thought

Thank you
Now I understand why many have multiple tanks. We want to keep every fish we can
No more changes now. Will add 12 or more altums and if space permits then other fish. Maybe 6 blue diamond discus to satisfy my family.

That's what I was thinking. May replace the swords with giant vals on the right 1/3rd or more. Don't want to block my overflow chamber on the left.
Don't want them to take over and increase my maintenance though
